I am a pensioner of Imperial Tobacco - and their latest newsletter has this news.
All the commemorative plaques, both WW1 and WW2, from all the former production facilities are now all together in a Memorial Garden at the company's global HQ, Winterstoke Road, Bristol.
Visits by prior arrangement.

How nice they have been kept and are together.
I assume they would have been at the various places where there were depots?
So many have been lost to demolitions, modernisation etc.
Such a little thing for all those lives and all the sadder for not being treasured.
Thanks,many people will be pleased to have that information.
Viktoria.

My Nan used to work at Imperial. Not sure for how long, it often came up in conversation, but I never asked but I am in possession of a few photos taken from inside an office with several staff members. I assume this is from in there. So, If you're interested in them I'll be glad to send copies to you in hopes of finding perhaps yourself or friends.
